Start with the news release
Micropilot radar offers overfill protection from
Endress+Hauser, which we summarised at the time by saying "Endress+Hauser's Micropilot M FMR244 radar offers overfill protection in liquids and solids applications across the food and beverage, chemical, primaries and water industries. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Increased demand for safety systems from
ARC Advisory Group: "Greater awareness of safety standards and global environmental awareness is increasing the demand for safety systems.".
In July 2008, we covered the news from ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation)
- take a look at Functional safety explained
which says: "A new guide explaining all you need to know about functional safety is now available from ABB.".
Take a look also at the news release from ACM Facility Safety, Lifecycle tool takes holistic view of safety,
as well as Sensors suit dangerous environments from Impress Sensors and Systems,
and Five-year software deal reached from ABB Engineering Services.
